What do you have planned for your Saturday? My plans are for a simple day here at home. I'm looking forward to pottering in the garden for there are seedlings to plant. Lettuce and baby carrot and some more broccoli. I intend on baking too using the juicy citrus that came from a generous friend's trees. I'm thinking orange cake, lemon slice and this lovely lime dessert. There will most definitely be time for reading, to finish off a "sweet" book that I borrowed from the local library. I'm sure I can find a sunny corner on the verandah, where the boards are warm, to read in. Perhaps I'll doze ...
Light reading, a little posy of cottage flowers and citrus from a lovely friend's garden.
I love how days like these unfold slowly, behind the blue gates of our place, unhurried and happy just to be here at home.
I hope you have a lovely Saturday too.
Meg
Sounds perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteI'm torn between having all these things to do (some pleasure, some work) and not having an ounce of desire to do any of them!!! I think it's the extended wet weather we are having, it's causing a bit of cabin fever.
I prescribe a book, completely worthwhile on days like that! Doing something while lazing around:) Meg
DeleteThat's a lot to fit into one day Meg! Thanks for the Lemon Slice idea. Our lemon trees are over loaded, so I'll give this a try.
ReplyDeleteThe lemon slice is lovely, Sally, though I do halve the sugar in the base/crumble. Much too sweet otherwise. Meg:)
DeleteI've always wanted a verandah, not a common thing over here. Will have to make do with sitting under the oak tree instead.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend
I think reading under an oak tree sounds just as lovely, Sue. Dappled shade and the sky above. Have a lovely weekend, too. Meg:)
DeleteYour plans sound lovely! I so miss having fresh citrus fruit growing out in the garden just waiting to be picked but it does not grow in this climate. I am thankful for the strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, rhubarb and cherries that do though. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt has been a lovely Saturday, Debbie. I did get that book finished! It felt such a lovely blessing to be given a whole bag of lovely citrus fruits. They do grow well here but I haven't had much success with strawberries and of the two native raspberries I planted a while, one was dug out by a native scrub turkey and the other was looking great until I noticed that most leaves had become a critter's lunch recently. I guess it's all about growing what is best suited to the area where you live and enjoying that. Have a happy weekend. Meg:)
DeleteI love days like this too. A nice time to catch up with myself and gather my thoughts.

It was a lovely day, I got my book finished and the seedlings planted. I'm still going on the juicing and baking to use up all that citrus. There's a lot of it! I do love lingering at home, pottering around. Meg:)
